The Sony Xperia S should be in line to receive a mouthful of refreshing Ice Cream Sandwich in late May or early June, according to a post from Sony on its support forums, Pocketnow reports.
Writing in response to a previous poster, a member of Sony’s support team wrote, “Xperia S is planned to get ICS somewhere around late May/early June.”
The comment continues, “That’s what’s been said and that’s still what we’re sticking to. Any other dates (such as “June/July”) is just speculation.”
Xperia S owners slavering for the latest edition of Android should only have a few weeks to wait, then. That’s good news, as one of the problems with the Japanese company’s latest flagship was that it launched with an out-of-date version of Google’s robot-powered operating system.
Don’t be surprised if you don’t see the new software arriving on your Xperia S immediately — Sony says, “The roll out is, as always, gradual and will not happen over night for all phones. Some phones might get the update in late May whilst other[s] will get in mid-June etc.”
